• SQL Server VISUAL STUDIO 2005 AND SQL 2000

  I'm very new to the MSDN world. I have 2005 CD I just purchased and would like to install SQL 2000. Is this possible or is only 2005 version bundled with this subscription Thank you... I have Visual Studio 2005 CD.  Hmmm.... I don't have the exact CD, but my guess is that it only contains a version of SQL 2005, not SQL 2000. If you're in a pinch, you could try to install the evaluation version of SQL 2005. It is good for 180 days, but you could always try to obtain a copy of Developer edition if you need it for longer. Thanks, Sam Lester (MSFT) ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlSerialize a System.Drawing.Font

  Hi, I haven't used the XmlSerializer with any built-in types before, so maybe this is a common restriction... But are System.Drawing types possible to serialize When I try to serialize any System.Drawing type, I get a runtime error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Drawing.XmlSerializers' I can't find any references to this assembly anywhere on the net. Is it something that hasn't been implemented in .NET yet.. Thanks, Jonas Jonas, You get this error because the type you're trying to serialize is not XmlSerializable (maybe some IDictionary is there or something like that).... so it won't be possible to serialize it as xml. The error message you receive is telling you that the framewo ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2k5 backup restore issue: tail of the lo

  After a manual backup, I attempted to restore, and got the following error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The tail of the log for the database "MSC" has not been backed up. Use BACKUP LOG WITH NORECOVERY to backup the log if it contains work you do not want to lose.

• SQL Server Script Task

  Hi, I am very new in Integration Services and I am using the Script task object.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Another Problem

  Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to turn a huge amount of code into a simple function. Right now I have a bunch of check boxes and they are all named C1-C7 and W1-W7, instead of putting in code for each one when clicked, which results in a large amount of code, is there anyway I could make one function to handle all of these. I tried something like this. If C(num).checked=true then W(num).checked=false endif its just a basic example of what i want and i could really use this later on. Thanks The following is just for three buttons per set. Just add more handles clauses as required. Private Sub Form1_Load( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Ev ...Show All

• .NET Development Property Storage in XML

  What is the standard way of writing out properties of a .NET class in XML What I mean is, is it standard to write out properties of a class as attributes: <pin name="pinName" x="2" y="0" z="1.5" xRotation="0" yRotation="-.4" zRotation="1"> pin being the name of a user defined class. Or is it standard to write out properties as child nodes: <pin> <name="pinName"> <x="2"> <y="0"> <z="1.5"> <xRotation="0"> <yRotation="-.4"> <zRotation="1"> </pin> I don't think there is a standard requiring or demanding one way or the other, a ...Show All

• SQL Server Assign expression value using code

  I am trying to use a variable to set an attribute value of an SSIS task but I keep running into the 4000 character limit of the string variable. Not sure why the variable which is of .NET type String has this limit when it doesn't when you are in a .NET environment. Regardless, can anyone provide some sample code that I could use to do this in a script task I am trying to set the QueryString property of the Data Mining Query Task. All help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. As far as dynamically setting the QueryString, when you look at the properties of the Data Mining Query task, is there an "expressions" parameter If you expand the expressions parameter, do you have an option for QueryString (I'm not sit ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how to populate label on different form.

  I'm trying to populate a label on from. The value for this label is coming from another form which opens up the active current form where the label resides, is this even possible and if so can someone explain how to do it using the C# express designer. confused. I don't know much about how you are doing this through the wizard/designer view. From what I understand, when the user clicks on an item in the listbox, which has been populated/bound from a datasource (dataset), you wish to open up another form, and execute a query correct if this is the case, simply create a listbox click/itemclicked event so this will fire when the user selects an item.
